The Overlooked Vehicle Behind Thousands of Injuries Every Year
Golf carts are one of those vehicles most people never give a second thought. They drift quietly along golf courses, through resort paths, and down neighborhood streets, carrying families, retirees, and teens who use them like oversized toys. With their open sides, low speeds, and friendly appearance, they feel harmless, almost quaint. But behind that wholesome exterior lies a growing safety problem that has quietly sent thousands of Americans to the emergency room every year.

Blame It on Your Heart. Top Story - January 2026.
I write a few poems, but not as many as some folks on Vocal. Most of my poems have to do with love. Either the desire for it, the tragedy of when it doesn’t work, or dealing with feelings of love. I am a big softie at heart, I guess!

Freezing the War, Not Ending It. Why Trump’s Russo-Ukraine Peace Deal Will Break Down
Wars don’t end just because someone in a suit decides they should. The war in Ukraine is nearing its fourth year, and while diplomacy is accelerating, the battlefield is unmoved. Missiles still strike cities. The front line still grinds forward inch by inch. The war keeps its own tempo, no matter how fast envoys fly between Mar-a-Lago, Moscow, Paris, and Kyiv with draft agreements in hand.

The Benefits of Writing
I am a writer. That is my affirmation because I write something every day. I have been writing almost all my life. There is always something inside of me that wants to come out through my writing. At night, I dream about what to write. As soon as I wake up in the mornings, I put my nighttime communications into an article and submit it to my writing sites so it can be read and hopefully enjoyed by millions of people worldwide.

We Shall Never Surrender: The Speech That Turned Britain’s Darkest Hour Into Defiance
There are speeches that explain history, and then there are speeches that intervene in it. On June 4, 1940, Winston Churchill delivered one of the most consequential addresses ever spoken inside the House of Commons. Britain had just pulled off the miracle of Dunkirk—an evacuation that saved more than 330,000 Allied troops from annihilation. But make no mistake: this was not a victory. France was collapsing. Nazi Germany looked unstoppable. Invasion felt inevitable.
